My 2008 Poker Goals
I was inspired by Stephen's latest blog post (http://pokersoup.com/blog/uzjedi/show/my-lazy-year) to try and consciously play poker a bit more seriously. I figured it might help me achieve this goal if I actually wrote it down so I could hold myself accountable. So here is a list of some of the things I'd like to accomplish this year as far as poker goes.
Establish a bankroll and stick to it (with all the tracking that goes with it)
Sign up for an online account with rakeback and play/track at least 20 hours a month (and be profitable, of course)
Attend one 100+ player tournament (such as Lucky Chances) tournament a month
Read and take notes on a book a month
Regularly meet with like-minded people and discuss goals, strategy, etc.
Continue playing enough hours of fun poker, such as home games and trips with close friends and poker buddies who may become closer friends
That's a pretty aggressive list of goals, considering the other projects I have in the works, but I'm going to try harder this year. If I can do all of this, I will be a little bit closer to my fantasy of playing poker professionally.
